The 12 last-minute goals behind Bayer Leverkusen’s unbeaten streak

WATCH: Xabi Alonso's side have developed a penchant for buzzer-beating finishes which are keeping their extraordinary run goinge and the German Cup. They are now just four points from an unbeaten season across all three competitions they compete in.

Argentine midfielder Exequiel Palacios stepped up four minutes into added-time after Alejandro Grimaldo’s spectacular free-kick earlier in the game.All things considered, this is probably the least significant of the late goals, but it showed that Alonso and his men could even do it on a cold Thursday night in Azerbaijan.Palacios’s second 94th-minute goal of the season came at a crucial point in the season.

And thanks to Jonathan Tah’s header at the death, “Neverkusen” went one step closer to becoming Foreverkusen. Schick scored both, just a week after his previous heroics, with the second goal only possible because of the time taken up by the first. This was Alonso time at its very best.Leverkusen then managed to go two weeks without needing Schick to bail them out, but he was called into action once more to topple Hoffenheim.
